Solar Foods’ Solein: the protein of the future made of hydrogen and carbon dioxide
Food Matters Live
Solar Foods, a Finnish company, has developed a new protein called Solein that is made using hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The process, called air protein, uses a special fermentation process to convert the hydrogen and carbon dioxide into a protein-rich powder that can be used as a meat substitute. This innovative approach has the potential to revolutionize the food industry and address issues such as climate change and food security. The production of Solein requires significantly less water and land compared to traditional protein sources such as livestock. Additionally, the use of carbon dioxide as a raw material reduces the need for fossil fuels and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the process can be powered by renewable energy sources, making it an environmentally sustainable solution. To read more, use the button below to open the original external article.

Big and Bulky Last-Mile Delivery in the United States will be a High-Growth 3PL Segment
Armstrong & Associates, Inc.
The article from 3PLogistics discusses the challenges of last mile delivery for large and bulky items in the US. According to their research, a majority of last mile delivery providers are not equipped to handle these types of shipments, leading to increased costs and delays. In addition to this, they found that accessing certain areas can be difficult, as some locations do not have sufficient infrastructure and infrastructure investments are lagging behind demand. This is further exacerbated by the fact that most providers lack specialized vehicles or equipment designed specifically for last-mile deliveries of larger items. In summary, 3PLogistics offers insights into the difficulties associated with delivering large and bulky packages during the last mile in the US, highlighting issues such as inadequate infrastructure and a lack of specialized equipment. They suggest that investments should be made in both infrastructure and specialized transportation solutions in order to improve delivery efficiency and reduce costs for both businesses and customers alike.

Predicting food crises using news streams
Science
The anticipation of food crises is a critical component of humanitarian aid efforts aimed at reducing human suffering. However, existing predictive models often rely on risk measures that are inadequate due to delays, outdated information, or incomplete data.

How shading crops with solar panels can improve farming, lower food costs and reduce emissions
Theconversation
If you have lived in a home with a trampoline in the backyard, you may have observed the unreasonably tall grass growing under it. This is because many crops, including these grasses, actually grow better when protected from the sun, to an extent. And while the grass under your trampoline grows by itself, researchers in the field of solar photovoltaic technology — made up of solar cells that convert sunlight directly into electricity — have been working on shading large crop lands with solar panels — on purpose.
